Synopsis

This is a facsimile reprint of the 18th-century classic first published in 1779. Originally conceived as a revision of Sir Roger Atkyns' 'Ancient and Present State of Gloustershire,' Samuel Rudder's 'New History' grew into a major work in its own right, containing vivid descriptions of baronial seats, information on genealogy and heraldry and more.
